HOROSCOPES
By Aluna Michaels
Aluna's Zodiac
OCTOBER 2024
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) – Happy birthday Libra! Jupiter and Pluto help you heal childhood pain. In subtle ways, your faith was impacted by minor or major traumas and now you can make major strides in trusting the Universe, others and your deepest intuition! You can also get a high powered job offer and/or get a raise. These positive internal and external events can disrupt your relationship if it’s dysfunctional. Your partner needs to accept your new self-esteem and personal power!
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) – This month’s New and Full Moons, dig into your subconscious mind. Meditation helps you heal the root of physical issues, like anxiety, sleep problems, eating/substance challenges, and even autoimmune conditions. Writing in a journal helps these breakthroughs have more permanence, as will speaking with a trusted friend or therapist. With Pluto ready to enter Aquarius for good next month, open your heart for amazing life changes and accept those blessings!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) – You’ll have financial breakthroughs this month! It’s great to be easy-going, but the planets want to help you be disciplined with money. You can even meditate and see family, or even past-life patterns of financial issues. Find a trusted guide to help you deal with debt and start a budget that also give room for fun so you don't unconsciously resist the guidelines.. If partnered, you’ll have deeper intimacy, and if single, you can meet someone who resonates with you values, and is super sexy too!
Capricorn (Dec. 22 –Jan. 19) – It’s a powerful relationship month! If starting a new connection, it’ll be sizzling! But be sure
you also have healthy, trusting communication. Don’t compromise in that department, or else you’ll find yourself quickly annoyed and perhaps feel like their parent. In longterm bonds, you’ll heal old patterns. You can give the other person back their power they gave to you, and that balance will be very healing! Similar dysfunctional power issues get better at work, too!
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) – Stable finances are building up this month. However, you may need to have challenging conversations with others to assert yourself and set limits. Your intuition is clear and focused now, so trust it! Be sure to nurture your playful side. Dance, make art, play sports, be silly with kids and pets. You can also reinvigorate the romance in your partnership! Try new forms of meditation, yoga or spiritual study so you feel alive and vital in that area of life as well.
Pisces (Feb. 19 –March 20) – You’ve been working hard on yourself for years, and now you’re seeing deep, lasting changes! Maintain healthy boundaries in all your relationships. Continue to care for your body and commit not to neglect it! Don’t avoid your finances. You should always be on top of your current status so you can build the prosperous future you deserve. Meditate on having the power to create the life you want. You needn’t feel victimized by others any longer!
Aries (March 21 – April 19) - The New and Full Moons can bring up childhood issues for healing. Take extra meditation time to focus on deep breathing and stress reduction. Regardless of what topics are stirring in your mind, you can feel pretty edgy. Exercise, practice yoga and eat well so you don't build up internal tension. You’ll be able to
find the roots of emotional triggers. You can also uncover energy and passion that’s been buried under discouragement.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – With this month’s New and Full Moons, be patient with yourself about meditation. Your mind (and body) can be super restless. Try movement based methods, like yoga or walking meditation. Pay attention to your dreams for clues about anger you’ve suppressed that needs to be unpacked, examined and dealt with. Be kind to your body, and be more aware of food choices, amounts and eating behaviors. Especially work to eliminate inflammatory foods.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – Jupiter turns retrograde in your sign, asking you to deepen spiritual practices. It’s ok to have an active mind. You can still meditate! Accept your many thoughts with empathy, not irritation. Do something with your hands, like “worry beads”, that engage part of your mind while you sit still. Also examine where you have inconsistencies in relationships. Be sure you don’t alter your true self to please someone else. You can even get a big raise or important job offer that you’ve worked on for a long time!
Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – It’s a powerful time for you to assert yourself in relationships, be they personal or professional. Meditate on your truth and how to best express it and stand by it. Also ponder life goals. Create plans and make small, steady steps in the direction of their fulfillment. Find friends who support you doing things for yourself who
can help keep you motivated and on track. You do so much for others, but it’s time to create balance and incorporate your desires and passions into your life!
Leo (July 23 –Aug. 22) – Mars is working with you for many months. Meditate on old resentments and frustrations, especially from the past two years. Write about your feelings to acknowledge them. Share them with a therapist or safe person who can guide you. Try yoga, breathing techniques or even vigorous exercise to move the energy out of your body. You’ll be more able to see your path forward and your intuition will be much more clear! You can get good news about work as well.
Virgo (Aug. 23 –Sept. 22) – Be sure to balance your romantic partnerships with friendships and other activities you love. It’s important to assert yourself with this month’s New and Full Moons. Remembering other aspects of yourself should increase passion in your relationship. If it creates arguments, the you’ve got lots to consider! Be patient at work, since an expected raise or promotion might take longer than you thought.

A Gentle Reminder: Keep Your Canine Companions Leashed in Grand Hampton
As a community that values harmony and consideration, we'd like to remind everyone about the importance of keeping dogs on a leash while strolling through our beautiful neighborhood. Grand Hampton is not just a collection of houses; it's a community where we share common areas, walkways, and green spaces. Keeping our dogs on leashes is a simple yet crucial step in maintaining a pleasant environment for all residents. Leashes play a vital role in ensuring the safety of both your pets and fellow neighbors. Even the most well-behaved dogs may be unpredictable in certain situations, and a leash provides a level of control that helps prevent accidents or conflicts with other pets. Not all residents may be comfortable around dogs, and some may have allergies or fears. By keeping your dog on a leash, you show consideration for your neighbors' comfort and contribute to an atmosphere of mutual respect within our community.
As we look forward to upcoming community events and gatherings, a collective effort to keep our dogs on leashes enhances the overall safety and enjoyment for everyone involved. It ensures that our fourlegged companions can join in the festivities while maintaining a sense of order and security. Thank you for your cooperation in making Grand Hampton a community where all residents – both two-legged and four-legged – feel welcome and secure. Let's continue to work together to create a neighborhood we can all be proud to call home.
